Oramen

This location was perfect! The portions were excellent and everything was fresh and delicious! The service was great and my girlfriend and I were extremely satisfied. I highly recommend the Shoyu Ramen and the Shrimp & Chicken Shumai

I recently tried tonkotsu ramen for the first time. While it wasn’t exactly authentic, the taste wasn’t bad. We also ordered the avocado & salmon roll as an appetizer. It was $9 for only 6 small pieces, which felt a bit pricey, but the taste was decent. The atmosphere was nice, and the staff and servers were friendly and welcoming, which made the experience enjoyable overall.

I've had some great ramen, but THIS was a cut above. I had the basic tonkatsu, so savory! The pork was *perfect*, and it's fat stuck to my lips, in all the best ways. The flavors lingered a while after I finished. New favorite joint here in the Big Apple. Service was good --it was crowded, wait staff was managing the lunch crush but I was taken care of. Lots of room, plenty of tables. Will mos' def return, counting the days ..... Top shelf ......

The tonkatsu ramen and shrimp bun had good flavors and made for a satisfying lunch. The lunch special at this ramen restaurant are little more expensive than some of the others but there are more options available that I believe compensate for the price.

Cozy and welcoming atmosphere. Lunch specials are a good deal. Had some gyoza and full ramen bowl for only 22$. The food was incredibly delicious. I usually don't finish a whole bowl myself but it was just that good. Staff is friendly and attentive to their guests. 100% recommend this place.

Great food so far! I just hoped there was some more options for dumplings, otherwise this is a great spot! Would visit again. (The tipping system is a bit scuffed though.)

Nice place, yet the service for me was a bit disorganised, there were two guys asking me separately the same question. The food is good, nicely served and they did also serve drinking water for free. Nice for a quick and healthy ramen as well..

The service here was great. We were seated right away. The outdoor area is also cute and heated. The ramen is just okay. I had the spicy miso. The broth was not as rich as I tend to enjoy. The bao buns are very good. We had the soft shell crab, the duck and the chicken. We ended the meal with the shrimp and pork shumai which was also quite nice. The beer and sake selection is fairly priced. It’s a nice place for a big group also. I don’t imagine it gets too loud here.

First timer trying Ramen, we did the chicken broth and it was delicious. Service was excellent, would definitely recommend trying it out!

Best Lunch Special offering on 6th Ave especially when running around holiday shopping. They have a wide selection of sushi and ramen dishes. As well plenty of options for alcohol. The food comes out very quickly but they let you linger and take your time. As busy as this place gets it still seems quiet with its dim lighting.

Was in the area and was craving a warm soupy meal, so we landed on Oramen. The inside is well decorated with dim lighting. The service was great, the staff were attentive and ready to help us at all times. My friend and I both got the spicy tuna roll and the ramen set. The food tasted good, but not much more than that. It's not bad by any means, just nothing special. It works in a pinch, but I think there's probably better options if you're looking for sushi or ramen.

Tried this ramen place randomly as it was nearby and convenient. Service was good. Got the soft shell crab roll, curry chicken, and tonkatsu ramen. All very good!

Love their lunch specials. The ramen it's always great! The servers are always attentive. The lychee lemonade and martini are also delicious and refreshing.

Dim lighting for ambiance. Friendly staff. Yummy food. Haven't eaten in Manhattan for a hot minute so I forgot how sky-high the prices are. Salmon Crispy Rice - $15 The salmon was raw so I didn't touch this, but everyone who did enjoyed it. Popcorn chicken - $15 Was a little disappointed because it didn't look or taste like the popcorn chicken I'm used to, which is not wet, very crunchy on the outside, and juicy on the inside. This dish resembled a wet karaage more, though they did have a karaage appetizer on the menu as well. The flavor was hot and spicy, which made it a little better, but the texture was not it. I wouldn't get this again! Spicy Miso Ramen - $19 Like any other miso ramen! It was decent but nothing particularly stood out.

This is a great little spot around the Chelsea area with simple dishes and good serving sizes of main courses. The sushi rolls could have been bigger but were still just right and flavorful, fresh, appetizing. Their staff is fast and friendly and we got our food pretty quickly. I ordered a lemon cocktail and it wasn't strong at all so their bar drinks menu is just a refreshing alternative to soda/water. Good place for date night too!

Second time and always a solid meal. I highly advise coming here for something like a weekend lunch. They've got great specials running and the service is quick I ordered the Katsudon and it's absolutely going to become my go-to. The chicken was great, I might see if they could put just a little more sauce on it (if that's ok) because the rice wound up being a tad bit less flavorful than I wanted. I know I could also just add a dab of soy sauce but the curry on the chicken was so good... I also tried their matcha lemonade. Not something I'd get every time, but it hit the spot. The lunch deal on sake wasn't too bad either.

We had no idea what to eat around chelsea/flatiron. We walked for a bit, but there's literally nothing in that area lol, but we did figure out that we wanted ramen, so that was a start. We popped in ramen in our maps/yelp and we both decided on Oramen. We both got the lunch special: one entree and one small app. We got the spicy veggie miso with vegetable gyoza. The gyoza lacked flavor and was mushy on one side while crispy on the other, so I wasn't a fan. My friend didn't mind it and enjoyed it. We both really liked the spicy veggie miso. It was super filling and tasty! Definitely worth the price! Great uf you want a fulfilling and warm meal! Price: $$ Rating: 7.5/10

Pretty well and tasty neighbourhood Japanese restaurant. Came here for a quick early dinner so seating was not an issue. Lots of options to choose from but we ended with the usual Japanese classics. All was pretty good and we swiftly finished it with no leftovers in sight. The crispy salmon seemed to be the star of the show. Service was pretty good and attentive albeit the restaurant wasn't that packed at the time.

O'ramen continues to be a good place to grab lunch. The restaurant is always clean and simply decorated. They still offer a lunch menu which is great. They have rice bowls, ramen with appetizer and sushi rolls. Typically the food comes out 10 to 15 minutes later. The waiters are always friendly and attentive. During my last visit I got the Tonkotsu Ramen, which is the pork broth soup. It's consistently delicious and very rich in flavor. It comes with thin noodles, scallions, half of a soft-boiled egg, and two slices of pork belly. I also got the pork fried rice as the appetizer with my soup. This was my first time having the rice and it wasn't the best. There was a huge ginger flavor and then it's topped with more pickled ginger as opposed to another pickled vegetable like carrots. I've tried plenty of other items at this restaurant, such as the Crispy rice. It's amazing and I wish I could order it every time. I have also had the pork gyoza which are fried pork dumplings. Those are very good and a must try. Overall, I will continue to visit this restaurant.

Went to Oramen for lunch couple of weeks ago. It's a nice restaurant, very cozy inside with a nice big bar. There's a shack style outdoor sitting area. Best part, it doesn't get crazy busy during lunch time. Their menu is huge, with all sort of Japanese dishes and drinks. We got to try the ramen, takoyaki, and my favorite chicken katsu curry. All of the dishes were delicious. The katsu curry is amazing, not spicy but has a hint of kick. The chicken cutlet was moist, not overcooked. Excellent ramen noodles and soup. The service is nice, plenty of servers sharing and taking care of all tables. Since our last visit, we have been there again for lunch.

The ramen is okay. The lotus root chips is great. The service is good but felt a bit rushed. The place has a nice vibe to chat and eat dinner with friends.

The restaurant is small but cute. I've passed it a few times and had the crispy rice once which was good but last night I got the ramen. The ramen is really good. Super flavorful and the egg was super flavorful. I got the pork ramen. The pork was a little tough but it was good. I really liked the broth. Super flavorful and a good size. The noodles are more of a thin spaghetti than a wavy noodle but it's still good. The service was good also. Staff was friendly.

Horrible service and entitlement from the waiters!! I would order extra egg and never get my whole two eggs!! Lunch special will say $22 and I will end up paying almost $30.00 for the bill! Never again!!! Waiter has an attitude problem and sesame chicken is DRY ass hell! Whack!!

Here's the thing. It's a cute spot for Lunch. Went at 11:30 and was seated immediately. Unfortunately my salmon and broccoli and cauliflower was definitely not worth the price I paid. They didn't have sashimi options (fine). But I ordered the salmon lunch special ($18) asked for no rice, and he recommended the salmon appetizer ($13) but I wanted the vegetables. he asked if it was okay if paid full price without the rice and I said yes, that's fine, could they add more vegetables instead of the rice? "I got you".food was okay. Salmon was flavorful. Veggies weren't overcooked. My bill came and it said $21. I asked about it bc the menu said $18. He said we charged for extra vegetables. I don't mind being charged just would've wished he said that in the beginning. "Full price" does not equate to extra charges in my mind.

Service was great. For the appetizer. I had the crispy rice with salmon and soft shell crab bao- both delicious. I had the tonkostu ramen and my friend has the spicy miso ramen. The broth on both were very flavorful. The noodles on the tonkostu ramen I didn't care for but the miso ramen noodles were thicker and chewy which makes for a better ramen. They also had a matcha ipa which was very interesting. Heavy on the matcha and I've never seen this beer anywhere else.

An extremely pleasant surprise for the quality of food and the flavors they have here! I would definitely describe myself as a ramen focused diner and thought I knew most of the great spots that NYC has to offer, but Oramen exceeded expectations. Started with the chicken katsu sandwich, which was quite good. Great fry on the chicken, the sauce was very tangy, and the bread was soft and tasty! Really great sandwich. Now - the duck truffle ramen is quite possibly one of the more interesting and best ramen bowls I've ever had. Duck that is expertly tender, tons of umami flavor with the truffle broth, and delicious bok choy with the noodles. I would come back JUST for this ramen. I also tried the brisket ramen, which was another highlight. Plenty of beef and a yummy soft boiled egg. The broth flavor was very hearty and great on a cold day. Service here was fast and friendly, and I quite liked the dim lighting, neon vibe, and albeit kind of loud but groovy J-Pop synthwave vibe. Highly recommend if you're looking for interesting ramen!

Ramen is hot, nourishing and healthy. Kind staff. Beautiful place. Highly recommend - we will return.

I had three roll for lunch. fresh rolls, nice vibe and various selection of food. staffs are good service

We stopped by for the lunch menu and was not impressed. We were lured by the pictures of the menu outside the restaurant (big mistake!). Ordered the duck ramen and the lunch special of ramen and Karaage with a side of yu choy vegetables. The duck ramen was unimpressive. The pieces of duck were mainly fat and skin. The soup was a shoyu base, was salty. The lunch special ramen was the spicy miso, a little more spicy than what I would've liked. The karaage was delicious though! And the ramen was firm and good consistency. And the veggies were bland, it was steamed with shoyu base. Overall, unimpressed meal. And to top it off, I ordered hot water (instead of cold) and they charged $2 for this! How absurd! It was Not even tea! I have never been to a restaurant that charged for hot water. Could've skipped this meal.

Our two ramen dishes were very good. The lunch menu had delicious small treats. The dessert of warmed red bean filled fish pastry with green tea ice cream was amazing. A very good ramen spot in Chelsea.

I got the katsu curry and my partner got the katsu sandwich. Everything was delicious, I really enjoyed my curry! I went during the lunch special which was really nice. The service is pretty good and everyone is friendly. I really like the ambiance at this place because it is spaced out and clean. Can't wait to try this spot again!

authentic as shit, I loved it. The vibe was amazing, dim lit and street vibey like your legit in osaka. A lot of cute designs on the walls and so busy. Just past by and tried it. Would come again.

The ramen was simply delicious. Would recommend to come here for a quick bite to eat.

My brother lives around the corner so proximity was the first reason to try Oramen....now we eat there every time we visit NYC. Salmon bowl, eel, marsh, ramen, etc. Everything we have tried has been flavorful and delicious. Check it out!

Food was excellent -- specifically loved the Crispy Rice Avocado (vegetarian). Friendly, quick, and efficient team. Cozy spot!

Get the duck shoyu Nothinggggg compares Sssoooo good I've tried other ramen spot but I keep coming back to oramen

Good food; good drinks. Get the salmon sticky rice and the litchi martini. 5 stars -

I ordered spicy miso ramen off Uber Eats and i was so surprised by how fresh everything was as well as the quality. I live right down the street and am glad to have found this place. Everything was packaged thoughtfully for a to go order.

Amazing food and quality for the price, staff is also very friendly !! The chef knows what he is doing :)

It's a small, intimate spot. We came in hungry, my beau was in the mood for ramen and I was in the mood for sushi. Luckily, I found this spot because they had the best of both. We were seated pretty quickly and ordered right away. We had the shrimp and chicken dumplings, Short Rib Ramen, Dynamite sushi roll, and the salmon avocado roll. Everything was prepared quickly. My only thing was that the dumplings came out after the ramen and we wanted the dumplings as an appetizer. The dumplings also came out a little burnt but still very tasty, especially with the sauce it came with. The ramen was one of the best ramens I've had in my life. It was extravagant, the noodles were soft, the egg was perfect, the vegetables still had a little crunch to them, honestly just delicious. The dynamite shrimp was also very good, the fish was fresh and the salmon had a nice color to it. You only get 6 pieces in the roll but the roll is pretty big. It's also safe to say I wish I ordered the ramen. I'm still dreaming about it. Definitely my new go to spot for ramen.

A good ramen place with cool neon interior decors. In addition to ramen, they also have a wide selection of other Asian fusion entrees and appetizers. Staff are friendly and they give you the best advice on pairing drinks. My favorite drinks are the Yuzu beer and Match IPA.

I came in for the ramen, but was blown away by everything else we tried. All of the appetizers were incredible, we got the lotus root chips, chicken karage, and the spicy edamame. The sushi is great, and so are the drinks. They have a great selection of sake if you are into that. Service was top notch, and the ambiance is perfect for a casual bite.

My first ramen soup of the season and opinion of Oramen? Very favorable. With the day starting out in the 50s and finding myself in the vicinity running errands, I decided to check out Oramen for lunch. I consulted Yelp and saw an overall 4 star rating. I'm in! When I arrived, specials were posted outside, door stood open and the restaurant was filling up. I was shown a seat at the bar but with the door open, I felt cold and it would defeat the purpose of having soup in the first place. I asked for a table and was briefly annoyed by the waiter's comment who stated that tables for two were usually reserved for two people! Huh? Scratching my head, I ultimately sat at the table but observed a bit later other solo diners sitting at tables. Yes, definitely annoying. Anyway, as I browsed the menu, I saw a nice variety of soups, rice bowls, appetizers, lunch specials/combos and drinks (wine, cold and hot sake). I passed on any beverage knowing that I'd be too full with the soup alone. I liked the different styles of ramen soup which were accommodating to diet preference. I don't eat red meat therefore I would not want a beef or pork based broth. I settled on the Tan Tan Spicy Chicken Ramen soup. It was noted as spicy, chicken based broth with minced chicken, vegetables and wavy noodles. It arrived minutes later looking hearty and delicious. It was certainly delicious---robust, heavy, flavorful, a bit oil slicked, spicy (but still tolerable for me) and filling. I loved how the chicken was finely minced, nearly ground and the wavy noodles held on to the broth. It was a very satisfying portion for $15. I would say that Oramen is a keeper and I'm looking to return again. Their ramen soup hit all the right notes and exceeded my expectations. I'll be back.

Excellent spot for lunch! I ordered the lunch special: ramen with side of chicken, and chose the tonkotsu ramen. The chicken was a few pieces of freshly fried, boneless, dark meat (think popcorn chicken). The ramen was perfect; exactly what I wanted/expected. The service was FAS and the waitress visited our table often. I will definitely come back for dinner since their drink menu is HUGE. Check this place out!

Even though I genuinely enjoy my dinners out with friends, family, and coworkers, sometimes solo dinners are exactly what I need. Oramen was the perfect place to do this. As soon as I walked in, the bartender greeted me and made me feel so welcome at the bar. I was intrigued by the matcha soju cocktail and it did not disappoint. It was foamy and refreshing, with strong hints of matcha. Matcha lovers unite! The Tonkatsu ramen was spot on. They unfortunately can't adjust the salt level, but the flavor was solid. Great texture for the thin noodles and the pork was fresh. They also cooked the egg just right! Oramen's menu is super diverse - everything from traditional Izakaya dishes, tons of noodles/rice options, and quite the selection of sake as well. I really want to come back to try the Katsu sandos and other Izakaya dishes. P.S. Get here before happy hour ends at 7! It gets absolutely packed after 730-8pm.

Loved it! Didn't actually have the ramen, instead opting for a bunch of sharing dishes. The kale side was delicious, the crispy rice with spicy salmon was also great. The spicy kani roll was fresh and just spicy enough. They also had an interesting range of drinks. The staff were lovely. Overall, fab meal and will be back to try the ramen!

Love this little spot on the side of the street. Was right down the road from my house I was visiting a friend in nyc who was raving about the noodles. Can't deny they are good

Sushi at oramen was pretty good! We ordered a spicy tuna, rainbow and salmon lover roll. All kept out well, and our favorite was the salmon lover! We chose this place because it offered outdoor dining. I liked that it was enclosed where we still had some privacy and it wasn't too cold being outside during this fall transition. Would definitely come back for ramen!

Tonkotsu sucks. Pork? I don't think so. It's red. It's spicy. It's peppery. It's got pickled veggies making things sour. The only good thing is the ramen is cooked properly. If you're expecting traditional then you'll be disappointed like me. The name should've been spicy noodle. A far cry from what's pictured in their menu. Okonomiyaki. It's a hard dish to get right. And very subjective to the consumer. Not for me sorry. Soggy batter. Lack of ingredients. Nice it's got some shrimp and squid.

Excellent food and service. Perfect for a cold windy winter Sunday. We almost did not go here because of some of the older reviews, but we had a great experience and found my miso salmon bowl very tasty. Will definitely return!

Judging by the take out order - sushi was very fresh, tasted awesome, proper temperature, and prepped in under 15 mins. Good size portions, too. Would definitely come back.

I deliberately didn't read my previous review before coming back here for a second time. I wanted it to be totally objective. Upon entering we were properly greeted and seated. I was so impressed with the menu. This time I looked at it carefully and saw a wonderful assortment of small plates and ramen. Oramen really does do Japanese tapas. The Tan Tan Ramen was delicious, quite spicy, and very filling (but I ate the entire bowl!). My friend had the Yakisoba and wow it looked and smelled amazing. Very generous portion too. We started off with shishito peppers -- perfect -- and squid gyoza which was also excellent but it should have been served with dipping sauce, because they were dry. Once requested and delivered, the squid gyoza was wonderful with the ponzu-like dumpling sauce. So, I upped my opinion of Oramen. I shall return!

we had an amazing time. food was one of the best meals i've had in nyc the cauliflower, gyoza, and ramen I had were vegan I loved the ambiance service was good

My friend and I came here for dinner on a Wednesday night and were seated within 10 minutes. The space has a bar in the front with some tables and a larger space in the back with more tables. We ordered the shoyu ramen and the spicy vegetable ramen. The flavor of both of them was excellent. The spicy vegetable ramen has very good spice (don't get it if you are not good with spice). The pork in the shoyu ramen was excellent and melt in my mouth. The noodles were chewy and delicious. The only reason I am giving 2 stars is because the food I ate proceeded to give me bad food poisoning. My friend was fine after having the spicy vegetable ramen. I am sure it was my dinner that made me sick since my other meal that day was a catered lunch that was shared with others at work and everyone else at work was fine. Really unfortunate that I got sick since I loved loved the food and the space/ambience. I would perhaps try the place again since the vegetable ramen was very good.

Swung by here with some friends due to the vegetarian options. Good flavor and portions. Service was really fast and the staff was super nice. "Spicy" ramen wasn't really spicy but is still good. I really liked the crunchy rice.

AMAZING!!! I was so impressed by the food and service at Oramen. A friend brought me here and she ordered our table a variety of appetizers. The tempura cauliflower was delicious which is so crazy for me to say because I usually don't like cauliflower. The takoyaki was DELICIOUS. The vegetable gyoza and truffle fries were also very good. The fries come with this sauce that I could eat with a spoon. I had the spicy miso ramen as my entree and also got the nigori sake. The sake was good but it was first time trying sake I didn't expect it to be so strong lol. The ramen was PHENOMENAL!!! Spicy delicious broth, lots of noodles, perfectly cooked meat. I can't wait to come back here you need to try it

This spot has a very Tokyo-inspired atmospheric - a little trendy, kitschy and chic, all at the same time. The best dish, by far, was the nori tacos, stuffed with some kind of creamy tuna. So good and crunchy and unique. The shrimp wontons were flavorful and spicy, but I wouldn't order them again. Also enjoyed the tonkatsu ramen which goes down smoothly, while the short rib ramen was much too salty, though the broth was delicious. Overall, pretty good, would try their uni noodles next, which sound interesting, but also not rushing back here like crazy to come here.
